★★★★★
“I purchased the 12 foot Battle Cat from Jaeger shortly after the Toronto Boat Show... Wanting to see what this looked like, I inflated it in my rec room. What a beast of a boat! Huge tubes, and quality components.”

Buying guide

Inflatable boat buying guide.

Battle Cat or Battle Boat?

The Battle Cat has two pontoons for a wider, steadier stance, so it suits fishing, standing, diving and family days. The Battle Boat is a V-style inflatable with the classic tender feel for yacht duty and getting to shore. Same sizes, same prices, same drop-stitch floor.

What makes Rover boats stand out

Pick your size

The 8 ft carries 2 people and 600 lb and fits a trunk or a yacht locker. The 10 ft carries 4 people and 1,000 lb and is the size most families pick. The 12 ft carries 4 people and 1,200 lb with the most deck and up to 20 hp.

Choosing the right inflatable boat size

Pick a motor

Every Rover has a 15 in transom, so it takes a short-shaft outboard, gas or electric. Stay under the max motor for your size: 6 hp on the 8 ft, 10 hp on the 10 ft, 20 hp on the 12 ft.

Registration

Where to use it
